Chapter 414: Wukong Selection

"Shanshan Is Here" is just a small-to-medium budget film and television drama. After Jiang Heng mentioned it to Li Xiaoping, he forgot about it.

When Jing Tan came over holding Zhao Liying's hand, he was stunned for two seconds before he reacted.

"When did you come back? Did the filming there go well?" Jiang Heng greeted with a smile.

Zhao Liying was flattered and said that when she arrived in the capital last night, everything was fine in Hengdian. The director, screenwriter and other people on the crew were all very good to her and took special care of her.

When saying this, Zhao Liying smiled and looked very sincere.

Jiang Heng smiled and said: "That's good. I like your optimistic and sunny personality. The reason why I chose you to film this drama is because I think you can play the role of 'Xue Shanshan' in your true colors. Don't let me down." !”

Zhao Liying quickly stood up and expressed her determination: "Don't worry, Director Jiang, I will definitely perform well and not let you down!"

Jiang Heng smiled and nodded, said hello, and then said to Jingtian: "It's rare for her to come back. You two are good sisters, so go shopping with her!"

Jing Tan said angrily: "Don't worry, I definitely can't treat her badly!"

After saying that, the two held hands and left Jiang Heng's office together.

"call!"

Zhao Liying let out a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.

Jing Tan said: "It's not that exaggerated, right?"

Zhao Liying said: "Exaggeration, you really don't know how much pressure I feel when facing him!"

Da Tiantian said: "He is very nice, how kind he is!"

"He dotes on you, so of course it's different. A young actor like me is most afraid of the big boss being angry!"

Jing Tan said with a smile: "If you do your job well, how can he be angry? Besides, I have everything!"

"Fortunately, I have you!"

"You should be more natural. You are always like this. How can you be my bridesmaid?"

Zhao Liying's eyes lit up, "Bridesmaid, are you getting married?"

"Uh, not yet, that's all. Let's go, I'll take you shopping!"

"OK!"

…

Jiang Heng is still revising the script of "Black Myth: Wukong".

Because he already had a story in his head, all that was left was to make cuts and finalize it, so he didn’t bother the screenwriting team and he did it all by himself.

At the same time, the crew's preparations are also going on at the same time.

In terms of props, a batch of new ones need to be customized.

The style of Black Myth is different from previous Journey to the West movies.

As for the exterior scenes, the main ones were naturally shot in Shanxi, so everything was easy to do.

As for actors, Jiang Heng hesitated and didn't think about whether to invite Wu Jing.

In several "Journey to the West" movies he has filmed, the makeup of Sun Wukong is very realistic, and it is basically impossible to tell who the actor is behind the mask.

Just like the role of the Bull Demon King in "Westward Journey", if not for the credits at the end of the film, who would have known that it was played by Lu Shuming!

In the past, Wu Jing was not well-known, so it was enough for him to star.

It's just that the salary has been getting longer in the past two years, so it's not worthwhile to hire him again.

Jiang Heng thought about it again and again, and finally called Wu Jing and asked him what he was busy with.

Wu Jing said with a smile that he was busy working on a military drama.

After "Wolf Warrior" was released, the box office and reputation were excellent.

He also wanted to make a second film, but he never had a good script.

At this moment, he has settled on military themes and has no intention of investing his energy in other types of films.

Except for some invitations that he couldn't refuse and wanted to return a favor, Wu Jing stopped accepting other film offers and focused on military dramas.

His idea is that since he won't be making military blockbusters for the time being, he will have fun with military dramas first.

"Director Jiang, you called me. Do you want me to do anything? You won't be filming Journey to the West again, right?"

Jiang Heng smiled and said: "Yeah, but this time, the filming is a more subversive Journey to the West story. If you are busy over there, I won't bother you!"

Wu Jing grimaced after hearing this. Although in Jiang Heng's Journey to the West series, the audience really couldn't tell who played the Monkey King, which greatly reduced his status and reputation, but he was still starring in blockbusters!

But since Jiang Heng had already said it, he didn't dare to fight for it, for fear of making Jiang Heng resentful.

However, the attitude of wanting to act still needs to be shown.

"Director Jiang's decision must be based on your consideration. I have no idea. If you need me in the future, just give me a call.

For example, I can play a six-eared macaque in a real or fake Monkey King plot! "

When Jiang Heng heard this, his thoughts moved. He was still considering the plot of the fateful man fighting against the broken body of the great sage, but he could also tell it in advance.

"Well, it's really possible that the new film will feature a battle scene between two great sages. If it's going to be filmed, I'll call you in advance!"

"Okay, Director Jiang, just give me a call and I'll definitely be there!"

After he died, Wu Jing's expression became increasingly bitter. The role of "Wukong" that he had played for so many years was just lost.

Fortunately, Jiang Heng made a phone call to say it in advance. If he heard it in the entertainment news or from other people, it would be very heartbreaking!

I just don’t know who the lucky person will be to succeed him.

In Hengdian, Wu Yue had just finished filming a scene. His assistant came over and said that Aiyouteng Pictures had just called.

"Did something happen?"

"I didn't say anything, I just said you'd give them a call after you finish filming!"

Wu Yue didn't take it seriously after hearing this.

He previously participated in "Prehistoric: Hou Yi Shoots the Sun" and played He Bo in the film. He was also an important villain in the early stage of the film.

But maybe it's because of the makeup. Even though this movie has a very high box office, the male and female protagonists benefit the most.

Supporting characters and villains like him have very limited promotion in popularity and fame.

He is just better than those actors who appear in blockbusters. Except for a slight increase in salary and a few more film appointments, there seems to be no difference from before.

Therefore, Wu Yue's attitude towards Aiyouteng was somewhat casual.

It's impossible for me to play the leading role, so there's no need to be frightened.

"Hello, hello, I'm Wu Yue, which department are you in...? Casting director, new film, want me to play the leading role?"

Wu Yue changed from being careless at first to being cautious, and his body bowed involuntarily.

"Hey, yes, okay, no problem, no problem, don't be so polite, just call me Xiao Wu. Hey, okay, bye, bye!"

After hanging up the phone, Wu Yue straightened his back again.

The assistant on the side heard only a few words and looked a little confused.

"What does that mean?"

Wu Yue raised his chin slightly and said casually: "Oh, Director Jiang thinks I'm very good and is planning to let me play the male lead in his new film. I will report to Aiyouteng Pictures tomorrow!"

"Ah, the new movie, the male protagonist, that's great, this, this is great news!"

This assistant was young, so he couldn't control his emotions when encountering this kind of thing. He was thinking that if Wu Yue became a first-line star, his salary would also be greatly improved!

Wu Yue was still "shocked" and said, "Okay, don't think about what's going to happen. Go book a flight ticket quickly. I have to show up at Director Jiang's office on time tomorrow!"

"Okay, okay, don't worry, I'll make arrangements right away!"
